The DLS measurements clearly indicated a lower volume of solvation for the CdS that may be associated with the type, extension, and/or stability of the Cd2+ chelate complex with chemical groups of the carboxymethylcellulose compared to Zn2+, which probably caused the higher contraction of the polymeric shell around the Cd-based QD inorganic core.
Previous studies have inferred a high contraction rate of approximately 1.0 μstrain/year with a clockwise rotation of 14.5° 27.1°/myr, and right-lateral shearing from sparse global positioning system (GPS) horizontal velocities in the fold-and-thrust belt of SW Taiwan (Bos et al. 2003; Chang et al. 2003; Ching et al. 2007, 2011b; Hsu et al. 2009).
Hypertension is usually defined as a blood pressure equal to or greater than 140/90 mm Hg, i.e., equivalent to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 140 mm high during contraction of the heart (systole) and 90 mm high during relaxation (diastole); either systolic or diastolic blood pressure, or both, may be elevated in hypertension.
Carbonate sands are particularly relevant for drilled foundation solutions as the shaft friction of driven piles is typically very low due to the high radial contraction of such material adjacent to the pile shaft during impact driving.
Figure 4b presents the high potassium contraction of the muscle preparation of rats, burdened with titanium dioxide for 30 days.
The following series of experiments was aimed at the study of the change in the high potassium contraction of circular smooth muscles of the caecum of rats, burdened with nanosize titanium dioxide material in the abovementioned concentration.
It was determined (Fig. 3c) that, contrary to the group of rats, burdened with TiO2 for 30 days, there was a decrease in the value of the phase component of the high potassium contraction of muscle preparations by 42.3 ± 3.6%, n = 12, p < 0.05, compared to the control.
Both TGF-β and ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathways cooperated in mediating the enhanced proliferation and high spontaneous contraction of Dupuytren's fibroblasts.

18 female computer workers performed 2 sessions of 15 min standardized computer mouse work preceded by 1 min pause with and without prior high intensity contraction of shoulder elevation.
